Whatever happened to smelling salts

I remember in the 80's when players were knocked out the trainer would run on and give them smelling salts to wake up. Are they still being used? Anyone ever tried it?

  • Peptides are all the rage now, makes you strong like horse.

  • Ian Roberts preferred amil.
  • Banned!!! I remember seeing Benny Elias smelling the salts and to see the expression on his face, it obviously took effect.

  • It wasn't smelling salts, they were given lines of cocaine... true story
  • Used to use them before a lift in Weightlifting comps.They took the back of your skull off! Also popular was a slap to the face,shoulders and a good bollocking along the lines of "Don't be such a f***ing girl,go out there and rip that bar up".One bloke must have sinuses of steel as he would block one nostril and suck the salts in as if they were a Vicks inhaler.

    Bloody PC wimps are too soft theses days.
